Trump Administration Abandons Efforts to Impose Orders on Law Firms www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
If people are required to show proof of citizenship to vote, then all the documentation one has to get must be made free and easy to get otherwise it is akin to having a poll tax that the poor and isolated cannot pay.
Trump has done more to undermine the culture of life than he has to build it up.

Vance is using a dog whistle.
This says a lot about the state of America. MAGA believes racism will appeal to most of the Republican baseβ¦. even the Catholic ones. Is MAGA right about that?
I donβt see any daylight between Fuentes and the man killed in Utah. Why are ppl who supported him now freaking out over Fuentes? Both accurately represent MAGA. Anti-blackness wasnβt a deal breaker so what is the basis for the uproar now?
It is interesting to see Ben Shapiro, Dinesh DβSouza, Vivek R et al freak out over the white supremacy chads in the R party letting them know that despite their anti-Black rhetoric they still arenβt welcome. #irony
If you think diversity statements must not be part of the application process for orgs that value diversity, do you also think statements of faith must not be part of the application process for orgs that value faith?
If you encounter someone who is thinking about coming to Church, or is thinking about leaving the Church, what would you say to them to give them #hope?
That's the question posed to @iamgloriapurvis.bsky.social in this snip from a recent episode of our #podcast @deaconspod.bsky.social:

On Oct. 15, at 6 p.m. Eastern, Gloria will deliver the Gallagher Talk (online and in-person) in #GrandRapids, on βThe Role of Compassion in a Divided World.β
βWhen Catholic Church leaders, clergy and lay alike, publicly praise Charlie Kirk, many Black Catholics hear them sanctifying a figure who championed rhetoric that served to maintain white supremacy.β www.americamagazine.org/faith-and-re...
Mr. Kirk positioned himself as defending white people from βreplacement,β claimed white families face existential threats and argued that qualified white people are losing opportunities to undeserving Black people. www.americamagazine.org/faith-and-re...
Mr. Kirkβs rhetoric represents the latest threadbare cover for racism. His argument that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a βmistakeβ that created βanti-white weaponsβ inverts remedies for racial harm into threats against white people. www.americamagazine.org/faith-and-re...
It signals that abhorrent views about Black people are compatible with Catholic faith, as long as someone is sufficiently vocal about their love of Jesus. www.americamagazine.org/faith-and-re...
Initiative Senior Fellow Gloria Purvis writes in America, βIt reveals a broader pattern where many in the Catholic Church in America have historically failed to see, understand or prioritize the experiences and dignity of Black Catholics.β Read more at www.americamagazine.org/faith-and-re...

Hi!
Leaving aside the stupidity of wondering why a bully's victims didn't mourn the death of their bully, this is some incredibly dangerous shit.
